A couple were seen over south Cheshire too, but the observers had no radio to hand

I hope the writing isn't on the wall for the Reds -

Of all the attempts to claw back savings, considering how much money gets wasted by poor government anyway, it seems crazy to close down something that brings much pleasure to so many.

Then again, the US seems so &^%&ed up these days - the FAA to close 149 U.S. airport towers leaving pilots to fend for themselves - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-2 ... -cuts.html

What a great country

Arent they mostly funded by private sponsors these days anyways? I think BP are a major donor

(British Petroleum, not Big Pimp BTW, though if he sold a few radios he could probably keep them flying for a whole year! haha)
